The Sun with a Nikon D7000

Liberty, Utah.

I know this sounds a bit weird but it's a bit fogy today and the Sun is shining just enough to see a perfect sphere so I got out my Nikon D7000 with the 18-200mm lens and the Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 tripod and snapped some photos at the full zoom!

This was the best one... and it even looks like I got some Sunspots in the upper right:
